Q:

Computer storage units smallest to largest?

Answer

The smallest unit of data storage in a computer is called Bit (Binary Digit). Half a byte (four bits) is called a Nibble.


 


1 bit (binary digit) = the value of 0 or 1


8 bits = 1 byte


1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte


1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte


1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte


1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte


1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte


 


Hence, Computer storage units smallest to largest i.e, in ascending order is


 1 bit  <  1 byte  <  1 KB  <  1 MB  <  1 GB  <  1TB  <  1 PB.

20m + 12b = 23....(1)

2(3m + 2b) = 7

6m + 4b = 7 ....(2)

By solving (1) & (2), we get

m = 1, b = 1/4

A) 5 kmph B) 6 kmph

Distance travelled by bus in 10 min with 20 kmph == Distance travelled by man in 8 min with (20 + p) kmph in opposite direction

=> 20 x 10/60 = 8/60 (20 + p)

=> 200 = 160 + 8p

=> p = 40/8 = 5 kmph.
